I quit Christmas about a decade ago, so things are easy on this end.
Have a great day tomorrow! TTY Monday XO
I slowed the pace way down and have accomplished little, it’s been nice.
A lot of jogging pants, too much food, lots of daydream time, no newspaper deadlines for a week, zoning out to garbage on the internet, big screen TVs and ordering food. Doesn’t take much to make me happy huh.
I’m also wrapping up my “2013 Christmas BFF Tour“, so a lot of laughing, cackling, and home cooked meals.
I’m driving a 2014 Chrysler 300 C AWD.
I have it the whole holidays too, 2 weeks. I like this thing. Review coming in January.

Champagne and making lists.
Really. My BFFs are mega-nerds too.
We swap stats, charts and blog tricks, one stop on the tour included a Power Point presentation.
My beloved nerd herd.
I installed all the new sidebar art. Each section should now refresh about 10 new times.
Still more work to do over there, but good enough for now so onto the nav bar now, and the ‘About’ pages.
The week ahead: it’s back to usual at the newspaper; try to finish up all blog renovations here; a couple short road trips; and film a few videos, brush the rust off.
And get a haircut. Inches gone, past my chin, a short bob.
This year, I’m taking this first week of the year to ramp up, then be ready by the 6th, as opposed to what I usually do, full steam ahead on the 1st (Wednesday).
Because after studying the rhythm-of-a-year, then drilling down to the rhythm-of-a-week (documented here), there’s no point in going against the flow. With new year’s day falling on a Wednesday, no one will switch their brain on until Monday, a week from today.
TTY Thursday, have a great New Year’s!

Night.
PS – I got another job today! Starts in the new year. It’s a good one. Not ready to share just yet. But guys, guys!
kk bye
I’m good at moving through crowds, like a laser beam.
Helps that I’m little, and that I’ve been playing “laser through the crowd” forever.
The goal is to make it to the destination fast as possible, going straight through the crowd. No moving on the fringe, no running.
Points are deducted if anything/one touches you, and points are added for cool moves, like, squeezing untouched through an impossible space as it closes, or fancy footwork.
Wasn’t shopping, just passed through during my walk, to get a taste of Boxing Day.
Lasted 12 minutes.
We wear a lot of black in Toronto, eh.
Hope it’s going as you wish xo
This ‘Canadian Explorer’ episode from 2009.
And this 2010 TwitVid, remember those?
I go around saying this all day, every year.
This year, adding to this video tradition, is a beautifully-edited tour of Allen Garden’s Conservatory Christmas display, filmed and edited by KeriBlog’s new video editor, Miles!
Then I finish off the post with this pic of Santa and I in Quebec City.
And enjoy the rest of this Christmas!
Love Keri
